Linux Desktop Ready for Corporate Users
,----[ Quote ]
| On the corporate side, however, Linux has already proven itself as a viable
| desktop option both in private and public sector implementations. Case
| studies of this nature include the South African government, which is far
| down the path of open source adoption and already successfully running Linux
| desktops in some departments. On the corporate side, First National Bank is
| an example of an enterprise that has deployed thousands of Linux desktops.
|
| Of course, it must be added that the effective use of Linux in the corporate
| arena requires sufficient support and certification. This means working with
| a committed and proven vendor that certifies its product for use with
| specific infrastructure and has appointed local partners who can provide
| sufficient support and training. With these requirements met, Linux offers a
| superior consumer desktop environment to any of its proprietary competition.

Your Money is Linux-Powered

| Linux wins bigger in the Data Center than on the Desktop, even in Europe, but
| there are many companies worldwide now considering conversion to Linux due to
| the rising costs of Windows software, the need to upgrade for each new
| Windows version, and performance concerns.

Adios Microsoft!
,----[ Quote ]
| Ubuntu imported most of my pictures, music, and documents from Windows.
| There were some oddly named folders it missed. This was not problem as
| I was able to easily retrieve them when the setup was complete. I
| haven't reinstalled everything I normally use but all the major
| applications "just worked" after upgrading. I know this sounds
| like an advertisement for Ubuntu, I guess it is. I'll continue
| using it and report back on my progress.

Nortel considers Linux desktops for its staff
,----[ Quote ]
| Nortel CIO Steve Bandrowczak, who joined the Canadian telecoms and network
| equipment vendor last July, said "more and more CIOs are looking at Linux
| desktop for reasons of TCO" and argued that the technology "is receiving the
| same level of attention today as when Linux started on servers."
